Gordie is very energetic and goes on daily 2-hour walks religiously. Gordie loves sleeping upside down with his paws up. Being in such a vulnerable position signifies that Gordie has a lot of trust in his owners and environment. Being such an active dog, Gordie also uses this mechanism to cool down. Dogs&#8217; stomachs being a source of heat and their paws which they sweat through makes sense why dogs including Gordie may lay facing up. This cooling method allows for the dogs to self-regulate their body temperature. Gordie&#8217;s favorite foods are cucumbers and whip cream!<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-255 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/mansbestfriend\/files\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-11.55.31-AM-263x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"263\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/mansbestfriend\/files\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-11.55.31-AM-263x300.png 263w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/mansbestfriend\/files\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-11.55.31-AM-898x1024.png 898w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/mansbestfriend\/files\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-11.55.31-AM-768x876.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/mansbestfriend\/files\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-11.55.31-AM-973x1110.png 973w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/mansbestfriend\/files\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-11.55.31-AM-508x580.png 508w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/mansbestfriend\/files\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-11.55.31-AM.png 1094w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 263px) 100vw, 263px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-264 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/mansbestfriend\/files\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-12.07.07-PM-159x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"159\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/mansbestfriend\/files\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-12.07.07-PM-159x300.png 159w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/mansbestfriend\/files\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-12.07.07-PM-542x1024.png 542w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/mansbestfriend\/files\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-12.07.07-PM-508x960.png 508w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/mansbestfriend\/files\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-12.07.07-PM.png 732w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 159px) 100vw, 159px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is Gordie, he is a 2-year-old Boxer Shepard mix.
